Who knows this man? The police are now publishing photos of the international fraudster (55) to locate further victims.
No fewer than 200 cases of fraud in Germany, Carinthia and Lower Austria are said to be attributed to an illegal car dealer from Italy, the ‘Krone’ reported.
The 55-year-old even managed to escape from prison in 2021 after being sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2016. Since then he has probably made a living through fraud. The man secured his ‘main income’ by taking over and then selling lease cars that he had previously acquired under a false name and with stolen IDs.
The 55-year-old was targeted by the police due to rental fraud around Villach. The illegal car dealer is currently in custody. In Austria alone, the damage amounts to several hundreds of thousands of euros; in Germany it will probably be many times higher.
Police release photos
The police are looking for more victims and are now releasing photos of the fraudster. “The publication of the images of the 55-year-old is necessary because the aim is to identify further victims of the man, who acts under different identities,” police said.
